Leta 1999 je predstavljala Slovenijo na Beneskem bienalu z video instalacijo Gladiatorji, za katero je prejela Nagrado Presernovega sklada. Od leta 1995 dalje je posnela mnogo kratkih in dokumentarnih filmov ter celovecerni film Suvenir, v realizaciji njene produkcijske firme Kanalya Pictures.
Slovenian born artist and filmmaker Natasa Prosenc graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in 1990. During her studies, she became interested in moving images and began making single channel video pieces, gradually expanding her practice to include video installations in which the space of the artwork grew to be integral. Her projects started to appear in galleries and festivals, and to win awards and grants, in the early 1990s. In 1997, Prosenc traveled to Los Angeles on a Fulbright Scholarship to study at California Institute of the Arts, where she focused on both film and video. She has lived between Los Angeles and Slovenia since then, with frequent shows and festivals in the U.S., Slovenia and abroad. She represented Slovenia in the 1999 Venice Biennale with her video installation Gladiators for which she received the Preseren Fund Award, the Slovene national award for great achievement in art. Since 1995 she directed many short films, documentaries and a feature film, Souvenir, which was produced by her production company Kanalya Pictures.
